Purchase Order IDOC query

[Former Member]

Hi All,

we have a requirement for outputting Purchase Order from ECC 6.0 to PI 7.1.............

as far as IDOC configuration is concerned, i knew this thing.............

our MM consultant is not much familiar with ALE output type.......

my query is: how to use output type in ECC for purchase order for ALE distribution..........i created a Z output type and assigned it to send IDOC immediately and maintained condition record too...............But on manual creation of Purchase Order in the messages button, i am not able to see my this Z output type but i am seeing a different Z output type with printer as the medium.

Need help to resolve this issue..........So plz help........

hi,

>>our MM consultant is not much familiar with ALE output type.......

my book - http://www.sappress.com/product_basic.cfm?account=&product=H3059

shows how to create a new Purchase order output and send it to XI

(among many other business scenarios like sales orders, deliveries, invoices)

everything with screenshots and described with details

Hi,

we have both the options for EDI and ALE as output type.........

my question is what are all the things which need to be done in ECC for message control for Purchase Order...........

even though i have done these things, i think something is left because of which on creating PO in ME21N, in msg button, i am seeing only one Z output type which is for printer output - which is different from my Z output type which i created for ALE distribution.........

so plz help.............

i have 2 questions: in ME23N when i am displaying PO, then on clicking messages button,

1. how is the Z output type for printer coming

2. why the Z output type for ALE not coming

any suggestions guys..........

Hi,

I think somewhere function configuration is missing in SPRO window, better to check with MM functional. In one of my project (banking FI) we have done this requirement for payment idoc. As per my knowledge the PO creation window itself we need to add zoutput type and while printing we need to select that one. Meanwhile check SAP program also for ALE output.

Hi,

>>>2. why the Z output type for ALE not coming

because you didn't do output config correctly

or the access sequence is not working

how to configre all of that it descirbed in my book

Hi,

i think i found something.........

i chose a standard output type NEU for Purchase order and medium as ALE.......I choose partner function VN for vendor and gave a vendor number in Partner number column................

on creating a PO, i saw in msg button, two rows: one for NEU and other for Z output for printer.............

now the row for NEU is showing yellow status..........there is no processing log generated............

so how to get what is wrong currently because of which it was not able to generate the IDOC even..........

Hi All,

in SPRO where is the exact location which specifies that on creation of Purchase order, which is the output type which will be triggered.................if i want to use standard NEU output type, then in SPRO where do i specify that after creation of Purchase order, NEU output type should be in the messages..........

plz help guys.........

Hi All,

i created 2 condition records for NEU output type for 2 vendors - both with medium as ALE but partner functions VN and LS which are created in WE20 as partner type LI and LS ..........i checked the condition records are getting invoked properly on PO creation..

On creating PO in ME21N in messages button, i am seeing NEU as output type but with yellow status............

Now the question remains: why yellow status for NEU output type with no processing log............so why IDOC is not even getting created.............how to check what is the error...........

Plz help guys..........
